Custom Setting

.Delay time for auto meter-switch off (page 17)

Options

: 4 sec.

: 6 sec. (initial setting)

: 8 sec.

: 16 sec.

At default setting, the exposure meter automatically turns off 6 sec. after
turning the power switch on or lightly pressing the shutter release button.
However, it can be changed to 4 sec., 8 sec. or 16 sec. (Note that the usable
number of film rolls per batteries decreases with the longer delay time for
auto meter-switch-off since it consumes more power.)

.Delay time for self-timer operation (page 67)

Options 2 : 2 sec.

: 5 sec.

: 10 sec. (initial setting)

: 20 sec.

At default setting, the shutter is released 10 sec. after the shutter release
button is fully depressed in self-timer operation. However, this can be
changed to 2, 5, or 20 sec.

.LCD illuminator activated by pressing any button (page 63)

Options 0: Disabled (initial setting)

: Enabled

At default setting, turning the power switch to Œ activates the LCD
illuminator. However, it can be set to be activated with a press of any button.

.Data imprint (year/month/day/hour/minute) on frame #0 (page 92)

Options 0: Disabled (initial setting)

: Enabled

With optional Data Back MF-29, data (year/month/day/hour/minute) can be
set to be imprinted on frame #0. To imprint data on frame #0 only and not on
frame #1 on, cancel the data imprint on the MF-29 after film is automatically
advanced to the first frame.

.Aperture control (pages 50-53)

Options 0: Aperture value remains (initial setting)

: Aperture step from the lens’ maximum remains unchanged

When a Micro Nikkor lens is extended or the focal length is changed with a
zoom lens in which maximum aperture varies with focal length, the aperture
value set with the Sub-Command Dial remains. However, it can be changed
to keep the aperture steps from the lens’ maximum aperture (in Aperture-
Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode).

Example: When AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-210mm f/4-5.6 is attached and f/8 (two
steps from the maximum aperture of f/4) at 70mm is set on the lens,
zooming up to 210mm does not change the aperture of f/8 with “0: Aperture
value remains” setting. However, when the “1: Aperture step from the lens’
maximum remains” is selected, aperture changes to f/11, two steps from the
maximum aperture of f/5.6 at 210mm.

.Shutter release confirmation with self-timer LED

Options 0: Disabled (initial setting)

: Enabled

At default setting, the self-timer LED only lights in the self-timer operation.
However, it can be set to light immediately before shutter release in normal
operation.

.AE-L/AF-L button options (page 41/54)

Options 0: Simultaneous Auto Exposure/autofocus lock operation (initial

setting)

: Auto Exposure lock only

: Autofocus lock only

: Auto Exposure lock remains after removing finger from the

button

At default setting, Auto Exposure and autofocus are locked simultaneously
when the ‚ button is pressed. However, it can be set to be locked
separately or exposure remains locked after removing your finger from the
button and released when the ‚ button is pressed again or picture is taken.

.Aperture setting with lens’ aperture ring (pages 50-53)

Options 0: Disabled (initial setting)

: Enabled

At default setting, aperture can be set using the Sub-Command Dial in
Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode. However, it can be set to
be changed using the lens’ aperture ring with CPU Nikkor lens other than G-
type.
• Aperture will be displayed in one steps and regardless of the setting in

Custom Setting menu 12, the aperture can only be selected using the lens’
aperture ring.
